Prop pitch depends on the length and design(chord) of the propeller. A 50 inch prop will not have the same pitch as a 60 inch prop rated for the same horsepower. A longer prop is best,you want as...

My new plasma cutter came the other day. It came with a three prong twist plug on it. It is also duel voltage. I ordered some wire and ends so I can hook it up to my 220v welder outlet.
So me...
I broke open my piggy bank and ordered a plasma cutter. It will be here Wednesday. I'll be able to start the turbo build now. After a little practice I'll start cutting out the flanges. I'll start a...
The engine tilt is very important. I had to tilt mine so it pushed down a little on the bow. This lifted the back a little an d now have very little wake.
I felt it's time to use newer ways to get the word out on our hobby so I started a Facebook group for the MAA.
This site and forums will always stay. It just seems people are moving from these...
Yes Corky that is exactly what it was. It worked ok the first time I was out. The second time it was worse and the third blew all the oil out. They were all short runs but the rings got worn down on...
Well I went to see Mark at Saturn Surplus this morning and got some parts. It was a hot one so I couldn't work for very long till I had to take an AC break. I tore the questionable head off the...
When I am testing something or the boat isn't running up to par I always go up river. I was able to float and get some fishing in.
I'm within walking distance of Saturn Surplus. I'll just put in...
After the long streak with no problems it's over. Totally my fault though. When I got the boat out this year it didn't turn over by hand at first. I rocked the prop a few times and it broke lose. I...
I made it out today! It ran just like the day I put it away. I was in the water by 6:30 and finished my rounds by 9:30. A great day on the river, I needed it.
Now that made me laugh. The two or three strikes in that video were all there was. I don't fix my dents like that. I put the boat on the garage floor and put a bottle jack on the dent then a 4x4 up...
You're doing just fine on your own. Like I said in the post, it's a 40 footer, it looks good from 40 foot away. I just wanted to get some paint on it for the season. I'm going tear it down this...
Got a couple coats of new paint on to get me through the season. Shes a 40 footer.
I've been wanting to do a brake for a few years now. I've youtubed it a good many times but never started. I always want to wait for that perfect build. So far I like the ones that use fabbed heavy...
I'll be watching to see how all this works Bart. You have way more patience than I.
After a few years of no river time I think I have the honeydo list down to a scream. I got the boat out and started getting it ready for the river.
It hadnt been started in a few years so it took...
At 45 degrees the boat will circle in place at idle. I've never really looked or paid attention to how far I pull the stick when I need to slide the boat out in an emergency stop.
It's all done under the hood. The booster is ok. I replaced the master cyl, proportioning valve, all new brake lines in the front. Radiator overflow, a bunch of vaccum hoses including the check...
Yes unusual for sure but I'm pretty sure of it. The battery had no load on it when I disconnected it. All it took to restart it was two short fuel lines at the fuel rail.
It's a 95 4.0 HO 4:10 5sp...
Pics didnt post
A few weeks ago my jeep caught fire while I was welding on it. Bad ground, ground wires in the engine bay loom hot hot and burned. I tried to start it and drive it out of the garage. Oops, this put...
She looks a little rough but it looks like she's ready for some water time. I have the prop off putting a coat of poly on it now. If she treats me right I may even give her a coat of paint. This will...
I just talked to Mark. Although they are closing you can still call the 717-692-9500 number to order. Keep in mind they are not there a normal schedule and may not answer so keep trying. The website...
